NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory turned to GGB for a bearing solution for a robotic drilling arm on its Curiosity Mars rover.

The drilling arm operates under extreme temperature, debris and atmospheric conditions to obtain samples of Martian rock for analysis.

GGB selected three DU® metal-polymer bearing segments to serve as the primary suspension components for the drill spindle based on their high performance, self-lubricating properties and wear resistance in a wide range of loads, speeds and temperatures. Launched in 2011, the Curiosity is still advancing our understanding of the red planet.
